I was not sure what to expect from the title of the book, but now that I have read your review and a couple pages of the book it sounds very interesting! I think I can learn a lot from Larry and his stories about his family's business. I am also trying to start a business with my sister-in-law so I look forward to reading this. Great review!

Great review! Very descriptive and intriguing. This novel seems like an uplifting story that can benefit any number of different audiences! While it isn’t typically one of the genres I lean toward, the charming family theme is enticing and I’ve added it to my bookshelves! Looking forward to reading it.

In conclusion, I will leave you with one of Larry's most valuable lessons when it comes to buying good furniture: "A wildly low price isn't always what it appears. Consider the apt maxim: When you buy quality you only cry once."
This is a great quote and the author seems to have lived and inspirational and fulfilling life. He, definitely, seems like a wise man. I enjoy personal stories, but I'm not very interested in business.
Your review is thorough and enthusiastic, and I'm glad you shared your personal motivations for choosing such an unusual book, thank you.

Call of the Couch by Larry Schneiderman is a real description of start small and grow. I am thrilled by how Larry Schneiderman and his family start and grow their business. I can't wait to read the whole story. Great review!

Call of the couch by Larry Schneiderman is a good book that elaborate on quality when we talk about furniture making. it's a non fiction book skillfully written by a reputable author.
I rate it 3 out of 4 for little error found in the book.

The book cover depicts a therapist chair, but reading the review it is quite the opposite. Getting money from defaulters can be challenging and sometimes funny due to the tricks they might play. I hope to read this book too, and I would love to know if he at any point overlooked a defaulter. Good review.

Nice review, Sounds like a good read, although I'm not really a fan of this genre but the title was quite catchy.

This book is short, but it is brimming with wisdom from a man who took over a family trade and had to walk a tightrope of dealing with employees, customers, vendors, financial issues and a whole host of other responsibilities
Sounds a well-written and inspirational memoir! Although it is not my genre, I got my copy. Thank you for the detailed review!

Sold! Your review convinced me this is a book worth reading. Even though I'm not a business owner, this book has a lot more to offer than just advice in this area. I especially liked your comparison to the circus act. I think it evokes a realistic image to what the author had to do in order to keep his business growing. Thank you for the review, I am looking forward to reading this book!
